I never said you were braindead, do not assume what has not been said. I never insulted anyone's intellect. (Two L's by the way.). RWBY has not been completely ruined but major aspects of it have been. Adam's entire potential was put down the drain for shipping. Ozcar's entire character developer and internal struggles with responsibility and opinion of Ozpin has never been spoken since he learned about what was being hidden. The entire Jinn lamp scene. People say that you have to be holding it to summon her, but Ruby in the final episode summons her by saying her name, but between that point and now; Her name has been said NUMEROUS times.

Lets also bring up that Yang yknow..back in Season 3 attacked Mercury infront of Millions after the fight had ended, to see her walk up to the Outpost; I don't see why she wouldn't be called Questionable; but everyone jumped at the opportunity to call her a faunus racist.

Pyrrha's statue was not JNR's issues but Jaune's. Nora and Ren had little to add this Volume overall.

Ozcar didn't do much to note in these last seasons but follow Ozpin's suggestions along with being his vessel; this volume could have brought into conflict that Ozcar might be scared that Ozpin could fully take control. I mean..anything is better than 4 – 5 atm. The slow pacing..animation errors..12 episodes of walking with a stop that ends on a cliffhanger.

I've seen the argument about holding the lamp in discussions of how the entire grimm situation at the farmhouse could have been avoided if Ruby just called Jinn's name..and people in response to it said she had to hold the lamp to summon her. The rules aren't specified. Though you did not show any counter to the numerous times that Jinn's name had been said in the presence of the lamp and she wasn't summoned.

Now; speaking of Adam: We had so much expectation and buildup at the beginning of the Volume, giving him some extra story with his short. He appears everywhere through the Volume, in the reflection of the train window in the title sequence, Yang seeing him..randomly outside the Farmhouse..PTSD does not just work like that. My viewpoints regarding Adam stem from the points made in EruptionFang's video on "The Wasted Potential of Adam Taurus" He has explained it better than I can ever achieve in this comment.
